Publisher's Synopsis
The Ides of March is a historical fiction novel written by E. W. Hornung. The story is set in ancient Rome during the reign of Julius Caesar. The main character, Marcus Brutus, is a senator who is torn between his loyalty to Caesar and his love for the Roman Republic. As Caesar becomes increasingly tyrannical, Brutus is forced to make a difficult decision: should he remain loyal to his friend and leader or should he join the conspiracy to assassinate him? The novel follows Brutus as he navigates the political landscape of Rome and grapples with the moral implications of his actions. The Ides of March is a gripping tale of political intrigue, betrayal, and the struggle for power in ancient Rome.I laughed aloud in my misery. 'There's been a bill of sale on every stick for months!' And at that Raffles stood still, with raised eyebrows and stern eyes that I could meet the better now that he knew the worst; then, with a shrug, he resumed his walk, and for some minutes neither of us spoke. But in his handsome unmoved face I read my fate and death-warrant; and with every breath I cursed my folly and my cowardice in coming to him at all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
